The warm breath beside her ear made her feel a bit ticklish. She sensed her cheeks burning, and she knew her face must be flushed.
Observing Ye Leng’an’s different demeanor, Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t help but reveal a hint of tenderness in his eyes. Soon, he chuckled, the laughter tinged with a faint indulgence.
Hearing the soft laughter in her ear, Ye Lengan pushed Huangfu Ruiling away and calmly remarked, “We can talk, but keep your distance.”
Ignoring Huangfu Ruiling, she walked ahead.
Seeing her shy demeanor, Huangfu Ruiling shook his head with a smile. He quickly caught up, grabbing her hand as they continued walking.
Feeling the warmth in her palm, Ye Lengan made no extra moves and let Huangfu Ruiling lead her forward.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Ye family wasn’t as cheerful.
After being returned to her room and ensuring no one else was present, Ye Wanwan slowly opened her eyes. A gloomy expression filled her gaze.
She never expected things to escalate like this. She thought she had been discreet, but to her surprise, she was discovered in the end.
Now she was in a state of panic, unsure of what to do next. With everyone aware of her actions, her image within the family had crumbled. How would she face those people in the future?
Moreover, how should she explain it to her parents? With this turn of events, how would the family perceive her in the future?
Her thoughts were in disarray, and if possible, she wished she had fainted and never woken up to avoid facing the current embarrassing situation.
Just as Ye Wanwan was lost in her thoughts, the door suddenly swung open.
Hearing the door opening, Ye Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately closed her eyes. However, she could feel two more people by her bedside.
She knew that, apart from her parents, no one else would come at this time. However, even so, she didn’t dare to open her eyes. She didn’t know how to explain things to her parents. Originally, she had hoped this incident would elevate her status in the family. Now, it had backfired, and she had become the family’s scapegoat.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in her ear again.
“Stop pretending. I know you’re awake. There’s no need to lie to us here.”
Ye Hongxuan looked at Ye Wanwan on the bed, his voice cold. His eyes conveyed disappointment and, of course, anger.
Earlier at the square, he refrained from reprimanding Ye Wanwan for two reasons. Firstly, Ye Wanwan had already suffered severe injuries and needed proper rest. Secondly, his actions were aimed at preserving the Ye family’s dignity. Even if Ye Wanwan had made a mistake, he couldn’t directly scold her in front of such a large audience. Fortunately, Ye Wanwan fainted, so he took the opportunity to have her brought back.
Now back in the family, as he looked at Ye Wanwan lying on the bed, he felt a mix of heartache and fury.
Sensing her husband’s anger, Lian Mengzhu pulled his hand and shook her head gently.
She was well aware that this matter was all Wanwan!s fault. It was reasonable for her husband to be angry. However, because of this incident, Wanwan had already suffered a very serious injury. In the next few months, she would probably have to lie in bed and recuperate.
This could be considered a lesson. Therefore, she still hoped that her husband could restrain his emotions.
Ye Hongxuan naturally understood what Lian Mengzhu meant, but he really could not control the anger in his heart. He turned to the person on the bed and said coldly again, “Ye Wanwan, can’t you hear what I’m saying? Or do you think that as long as you keep pretending to be unconscious here, I won’t be able to do anything to you?”
Hearing those words that were almost bone-chillingly cold, Ye Wanwan didn’t dare to continue pretending. She immediately opened her eyes, endured the pain in her body, and struggled to sit up.
Seeing this, Lian Mengzhu quickly went forward and helped Ye Wanwan up. Then, she held up a pillow so that her daughter could lean on it and feel more comfortable.
Ye Wanwan leaned against the headboard with her head lowered. She didn’t say anything and was panicking.
She did not dare to speak first, nor did she know where to start.
“What, you have nothing to say?” Ye Hongxuan did not soften at all when he saw Ye Wanwan like this. He stared at Ye Wanwan and continued, “Don’t tell me you don’t intend to give me an explanation for what happened this time?”
“Father, l…” Ye Wanwan raised her head and looked at Ye Hongxuan’s dark face. In the end, she could not say anything and could only lower her head silently.
“Ye Wanwan, what were you thinking? You actually used such a method in the Family Competition?” Ye Hongxuan’s voice rose a few degrees. “Now that it’s been discovered, you’ve completely tarnished the reputation of our entire Ye family.”
“Father, I didn’t do it on purpose,” Ye Wanwan mumbled. “I just wanted to win this competition. I know that this competition is related to a spirit stone mine and is very important to our family. That’s why I made the wrong decision..”
